Chapter 691
Situ Nanyin immediately asked: "What plan B? Didn't we fail?"
Xu Nange looked at her and asked, "What are we doing?"
Situ Nanyin stared at the two people.
They really didn't do anything, they just rushed here and soon arrived here, and then witnessed Professor Liu Zhenghuang being captured over there.
She frowned, and after a little thought, she immediately understood something and said, "We are just a trick! Has the real rescue work been started long ago?"
Huo Beiyan looked down at the time and said, "Well, everyone knows that the shortest route from Country A to China is this river, so people are blocking the way here. In fact, Professor Liu Zhenghuang took another route."
Situ Nanyin thought about it for a moment and understood: "The other route back home would take a whole day by sea, and would also require passing through a dangerous strait. No one would have thought that he would go that way... Huo Beiyan, you are really cunning!"
Huo Beiyan glanced at her and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Xu Nange tenderly and explained, "Professor Liu Zhenghuang just boarded the departing ship and has left the A country's plate. He will return to the country around this time tomorrow."
Xu Nange nodded.
Situ Nanyin sneered: "I think Professor Liu Zhenghuang can't return to his country!"
Xu Nange looked at her: "Why do you say that?"
Situ Nanyin immediately took out her phone, opened the map, and showed it to Xu Nange: "Do you know about sea transportation? Country A is indeed the shortest distance from here to China, but besides you, the people of Country A can also think that Liu Zhenghuang will go from somewhere else, but why didn't they set up defenses in another direction? Because if they want to come to China from another direction, they need to pass through this strait!"
She pointed to the location on the map.
After Xu Nange looked over, he was slightly stunned and frowned: "Beisankou Strait."
She couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem with this strait?"
She didn't know much about these things, so Situ Nanyin said angrily: "How come you don't know anything? You should know that the largest area on the earth is the ocean, right? Then you know that sea routes are very important for navigation between continents, right?" Xu Nange nodded: "I know that."
Economic development depends on transportation. Airplanes and other means of cross-sea communication are actually very heavy, so using ships to transport goods is the cheapest!
She only knew this, and then she heard Situ Nanyin's disdainful voice: "Then do you know that there are still pirates on the sea now?"
Xu Nange was stunned: "Huh?"
Situ Nanyin pointed to a location on the map and said, "Here, there is a small island with a group of pirates living on it. They make a living by robbing people! These people are the Beisankou Pirates!"
After he finished speaking, he said directly: "It is because of these pirates that this sea route has never been opened. Every time people pass by here, they have to take a detour. Isn't it like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth for Professor Liu Zhenghuang to return to China from here?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Nange frowned, looked at Huo Beiyan, and asked in shock: "Is there still such a thing as pirates in the world now?"
Huo Beiyan burst out laughing. Seeing that Xu Nange finally had a blind spot in her knowledge that she didn't know about, he gave her some scientific knowledge and said directly, "Yes, the battle for the sea route has always been carried out in secret, so it's not surprising that the general public doesn't know about it. It's true that these pirates control the intersections of various important straits. The sea route is a very important navigation route."
He said directly: "If a shipping route is opened up and there is no need to take a detour, the time and fuel costs saved in the process will be enough to reduce the price of the cargo on this ship by several percent, because in fact, in places you don't know, everyone is competing for the strait."
Xu Nange suddenly realized that he had opened up a new world.
She knew that transportation was very important and the lifeblood of the economy depended on transportation. If transportation was not smooth, no matter how much goods were sold, they would not be able to be sold and things from outside could not be brought in, which would lead to closure.
But I didn’t expect that in this day and age, there are still troubles on sea routes.
Situ Nanyin spoke up: "You only said these, why didn't you say how fierce the pirates in the Beisankou Strait are? Do you know that every time someone passes through there, they have to pay enough tolls? Those tolls are so high that ships would rather go around them than pass through them. If Professor Liu Zhenghuang passes through there, he will definitely be detained!"
Xu Nange looked directly at Huo Beiyan: "Did you greet those pirates?"
Since pirates can make cargo ships pay to pass, humans must be able to do the same!
Before Huo Beiyan could answer the question, Situ Nanyin sneered, "It's no use for him to say hello, no matter how much money he spends! We all know that Professor Liu Zhenghuang's value cannot be bought back by any amount of money, and the pirates know it even better! They are all working on weapons and scientific research! Professor Liu Zhenghuang is exactly the scientist they lack!"
At this point, she looked at Huo Beiyan angrily: "Don't underestimate the pirates. If the pirates were weak, they would have been defeated by the surrounding countries long ago. They have no rivals on the sea and are more familiar with the sea and terrain than us. They are a tough nut to crack!"
